: I'm having a problem getting openldap to work with SSL on RH 7.3.  When I
: use the dummy certificate that comes with 7.3 slapd starts fine; when I
: create my own CA and certificate, it hangs.


Does your new cert have a passphrase on the private key?

slapd may not have hung, per se, but -- like other apps which support
SSL certs -- it could be waiting for someone to input a passphrase for the
cert's key.

I don't know offhand whether OpenLDAP supports putting the passphrase in
a config file, or passing it via stdin.


Otherwise, you could fire up slapd with copious debug output and/or run
strace to see where it's hanging.  As root, run:

        slapd -u ldap -d 255
